I was updating a phone for a customer and I noticed that in it's stock form it could access paid apps on the Market. I thought it was just because it was a bone stock ROM but then after I installed Cy4.0.4 it still worked. I just tried it on my Hero too and there they are.
Is this a temporary glitch? I haven't seen any news about this
I can confirm that I was able to purchase and install an app from the market last night. It took a very long time but it worked
must have been a glitch because today I don't see paid apps anymore
Alright, im not sure if this was already discovered or brought up before but here it goes..
Every time I would flash a new rom, my top paid app tab on the market would not show up. So I left the alone overnight and the next morning, still no Top Paid Apps. My girlfriend told me that it happend to her before, and all she did was start installing free apps like a mad man. At first I said, GTFOH!! Thats not gonna work!... eventually I went and tried it. I installed around 6 free apps, backed out completely out of the market, relaunched it and Top Paid apps appeared!
Just tried this. Didn't work for me. I have no idea why it stopped working properly for me. I noticed that paid apps are in there if you do a search, but it just doesn't show that tab. I think its some kind of market glitch, but I can't seem to clear it.
im having the same issues. Cant find any help
Had the same problem with Paid apps not showing up and Market stuck on "Installing". Used the instructions on post #29 that used Root Explorer. Worked for me. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716100&page=3
market fixed
thanks for the find man, now the market is as snappy as ever
THANKS

This was a SHNAZZZZY Find! Worked Great!
FAIL!
Nope... doesnt seem to work on the Droid. Tried the XML approach via RE and still a no go.
Not upset though... as with all rooting of devices, I know the risks!
Dear all,
I've recently acquired the Galaxy Tab from UAE/Dubai. It doesn't have the Android Market which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to enable it? Like in the Galaxy S? (dial a number?)
I don't want to flash. It's too new to mess up
Thanks

Thanks. But it doesn't . When I choose "fake this provider", it says there is a problem.
Also from what I read, that is meant to allow paid apps. The problem is that the Android Market app is missing completely. Only SlideMe market is there.
hi,
maybe you can use this market app from this thread.
dont know if it will work though.
regards,
mike
Did you get it on Etisalat or operator free? Do you know where I can get it in Dubai not with operator contract? Thanks.
http://www.wipconnector.com/appstores lists all alternative market places by platform
Try MarketAccess from the andappstore
EDIT: Just done some reading and apparently vending.apk and market updater.apk cannot be pushed the normal way - you will have to install them via an update.zip.
hi,
the device was available last week during the gitex period in Dubai at around 3200 AED
maybe it's still available here, last time i checked at eros digital, its same price.
regards,
mike
Thanks, I was in last day of Gitexshopper, but none left, only in Etisalat booth with contract :-(.
Better luck next tinme, i'll wait
Cheers.
I was able to get it from Eros Mirdif. Reserved one by giving a down payment a while back.
It's a really nice tablet. Such a shame though. The market being missing and all. I was hoping the Galaxy S command would work, since they're almost identical. Sigh
Galaxy Tab
Got mine during GITEX, found it at Carrefour. Everyone else was out of stock on the very first day of launch.
No Android Market is very frustrating, lots of alternatives available. I am trying lots of different tricks to try and get market working. Will keep you guys posted
Please stick to the topic. Try this:
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/estrongs-file-explorer
transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the FIle manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
from droidforums
Ok. When I run Vending.apk, it says unable to parse package.
I cannot find "Market" in all Applications.
get the apk from one of the above posts and use that.

It tries to install vending.apk, but then fails. Says Application is not installed.

The second "Patched Vending apk" installs successfully. I can launch the market and find apps. BUT all download attempts FAIL.
I think we're almost there........

I think you have managed to install it just fine. There are LOADS of Market problems at the moment. A HUGE number of people can't download anything from the market (nor update old apps) and those same people managed just fine weeks ago.
I spend one hour on my wife's Desire yesterday trying to install Astro. It would just error with "Download unsuccessful" or "Download paused" or something like that. Then I just hit "Cancel Download" and try again. Eventually it usually works, but I had to try MANY, MANY times.
So, I think you're ok, you're just experiencing the same probs everybody else has now
(There's a multi-page thread of it in google help forums and apparently they know about it. beats me if they're willing to DO anything about it though.)
Pissed me off to no end when I finally introduced my brother to the Android side of things and Market wouldn't work at all! He has a HTC Hero that previously had had NO problems with Market...
tl;dr: Yes, it's probably installed ok. No, Market doesn't work for the rest of us either :/

lol. Nice to know. Pity about the Market though. For the time being, I just browse appbrain for apps. Then try my luck googling the .apks. Torrented some app bundles also. But all that is just too tiresome. I hope Google or Samsung does something about it.
I just bought mine from the Eros Group in Abu Dhabi. I'm pretty letdown that they're selling this expensive product without letting you know that one of its main features is disabled.
I am with you kristenm. It's ridiculous. I am surviving using torrents, google and applanet to get apps, but its such a pain cause there are still apps i cant find without the market. And even after i finally got the market app installed. It fails on all downloads.
Its such a nice tablet. But samsung is not doing this right. Each shop has like a piece or 2, no accessories and little to no marketing.

I don't see much in forums on new market. Any one running the new market on 1.2 with 4.6.16? Which version are you running. Any issues? Thx
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App
I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.
mine auto updated last night.
Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.
New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version
Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Im not sure thats as much a "problem." it looks like google is blocking apps going forward on devices they don't deam the app compatible on.

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.
I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)
That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....
So I was playing around with Titanium backup and used the market doctor feature and accidentally attached apps that I have from the amazon app store to the standard android market.
I'm in the situation now where apps say that they've been purchased but it denies me when I choose to install them. The market says I need to update them etc...
My question is, How do I clear the connection to the standard android market of apps that titanium backup connected?
detach what you've attached by accident
it either doesnt work like that or i dont know how to.i cant figure out how to tell the market that ive never bought or downloaded an app.
Long press on the app(s) you want detached from the market in Titanium, select detach from market.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running some random CM7 nightly.
I still have issues with apps showing up in the market as purchased when it definitely is not. Even if I have the app fully uninstalled. This is affecting me both on my tf and my inc.
This is still present even after telling titanium to detach it.
Manage Applications > Market > Clear data/cache
Nothing is working...
The apps show up as purchased, will not let me install/update saying that I have not purchased them. Data clear, new rom, new market apk, looking through the market's online website, etc has not worked.
I wish this was a simple issue but it doesn't seem like anyone else has had experience working with it.
Is there a way to tell the android market that I have not downloaded/purchased apps on my account? aka erase my market history with the apps in question.
